SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A CELLULAR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS ORIGINATED 911 CALL EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A cellular communication network based emergency response system, comprising:
- a. a mobile switching center (MSC) of a cellular communication network that maintains, in an home location record (HLR) database, a GPS location data of a mobile cell phone device, for devices that are operating in the network;
b. the MSC has an interface to an emergency response (ER) system;
c. the MSC for a received 911 emergency call from a wireless device retrieves the device'"'"'s GPS location data from the HLR database and sends to the ER system over the interface.

Abstract
A cellular communication network has a mobile switching center (MSC) that maintains a GPS location data of a mobile handset referenced by a mobile identification number (MIN) and an electronic serial number (ESN) in addition to a geographic cell number in an HLR database for handsets operating in the network. The GPS location data of the handset may be used for efficient paging to a specific cell to route incoming calls to the handset, route emergency responder calls with the physical location of the handset and to program the handset with the handset transmission strength to the nearest cell tower In lieu of using triangulation algorithm.

2. The network as in claim 2, comprising:
an emergency response logic in the ER system maps the received GPS location data to (i) an ER region contact data from a pre-stored ER region contact database and (ii) maps the GPS location data to a physical address of the device. - View Dependent Claims (3)

15. An emergency response system for a wireless network, comprising:
-
a. a logic operable in a server of the emergency response system that receives a lat/long data of a received 911 call, of a cell phone device operating in the wireless network, from a mobile switching center of the wireless network; b. the logic interfaces with a ER database system, the ER database system maps the lat/long data to a physical address and the logic retrieves the device'"'"'s physical address from the database. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
